Having been bitten by the Adeptus Titanicus bug I wanted to add an Emperor class Titan to my game, but the ridiculous and stupid prices people want for them on flea-bay made me deiced to build my own.
WIP first draft of a Mars variant Titan, made from scrap, card, plastic and MDF, cost so far £0.50p and 6 hours of time. Need to get some plastic tubing for large weapons.

12/01/2017 at 16:01 #55492Darkest Star GamesParticipantGeez that thing is massive! You can also add some detail fairly easy if you have any 40k buildings laying around that you can butcher, or even Space Marines at this size, for iconography and whatnot details.

13/01/2017 at 16:06 #55549willzParticipantAdding detail, need to paint some liquid green stuff over parts and undercoat. Very heavy weapons made from biros, bases and cleaning product lids.
13/01/2017 at 16:15 #55550siggianParticipantThe handmade weapons just add to its awesomeness. Part of me wants you to never paint the thing to keep displaying what it is made from.

13/01/2017 at 23:12 #55574AnonymousInactiveI do not like 40k but that requires me to admit, “Way cool!”
14/01/2017 at 09:31 #55599willzParticipantCheers for all your kind comments (Siggian sorry I have to paint it, this is why I am doing a photo record to help inspire), Sonny I used to play 40k some 28+ years ago GW pricing policy made it easy for me to stop playing. Now I have this retro urge to play some of their earlier games, I am building this Titan to prove you do not need to pay out vast sums of money to enjoy our hobby.
A coat of watered down liquid green stuff, awaiting undercoat.
14/01/2017 at 13:47 #55612AnonymousInactiveYeah, I appreciate that – leaving 25+mm figures for similar reasoning.
Of course filling out my 1970s Ral Partha Dwarf/Goblin armies and Der Kriegspieler Dwarf/Lesser Goblin armies does not reflect that in my 2016 spending!
14/01/2017 at 13:49 #55613AnonymousInactiveThat thing probably “points out” as a stand alone one figure Army in some games I am sure.
Would look to see it in an AAR.
14/01/2017 at 14:24 #55616RhodericMemberWhat does liquid Green Stuff do, anyway? I keep hearing about it a lot, these days.
The Titan looks great! I especially like the guns and the “salt shaker” rocket/missile launcher.
14/01/2017 at 15:00 #55617willzParticipantWhat does liquid Green Stuff do, anyway? I keep hearing about it a lot, these days.
Liquid green stuff is a filler that drys hard and is an excellent modelling tool, it can be watered down and used as a wash on soft plastics, paper, card to stiffen up and is an excellent filler for metal or hard plastic figures. Years ago we use to have 2 part epoxy putty for filler, liquid green stuff has a load of uses.
14/01/2017 at 15:36 #55620willzParticipantBlack car spray primmer, then a quick oily steel dry/wet brush.
14/01/2017 at 22:00 #55652Alexander WasbergParticipantA beast of a scratch-build, and beautiful to boot. I give it 5 city-smashing robots out of five 😉
Any plans for a chaos adversary?

15/01/2017 at 13:29 #55668greg954ParticipantWhen I first saw this I wasn’t sure. But as it’s gone along and finally coming to together. I must say I’m liking it, sort of inspiring me to make one.
Although there are a lot of nice models out there which can bought. There’s nothing quite like having the satisfaction of making something like this out of bits and bobs.
15/01/2017 at 14:38 #55669willzParticipantCheers for all your kind comments.

Alexander I may make one in a few months, whilst I enjoy making such models it does eat it into painting time.
18/01/2017 at 17:00 #55880willzParticipantFirst colours on, I have not fully deiced what to call this unit generic at the moment. I normally print my banners but the printers out of ink, so I may have to revert to painting some larger ones . Waiting for the base to dry to work on that.
18/01/2017 at 18:45 #55891Alexander WasbergParticipantThat’s some nice paint on the beast, came out great!

19/01/2017 at 16:01 #55960willzParticipantFinished the base and made some larger banners, all I need to do is think up a unit name. Still WIP will add more detail as I go on.
A traitor Titan tries his luck, don’t think the void shields will hold out.
You can just about see the marine in this one, put in for scale.
19/01/2017 at 16:43 #55967AnonymousInactiveWell! That marine gives me sense of the scale!
20/01/2017 at 12:46 #56064willzParticipantCheers for you kind comments Glenn, yes when I put the marine next to the Emperor titan I was impressed at the sense of height. Picked up “Space Marine” second edition of flea-bay an other project.
